I think Location B is from North Wembley (bridge on East Lane) looking North as the parade at Wembley Central encloses the road on both sides. Location B is looking at the Chiltern Mainline between South Ruislip and Northolt from a Central line train. I'd agree with superteacher for D if it wasn't for the four tracks, lack of fast clip sleepers and the cutting walls which leads me to say it is looking South towards Northfields from Weymouth Avenue.

A looks like a Sverdlov class cruiser with a couple of Turkish Navy Meko200TN class frigates tied up aft. Only one Sverdlov still exists and is preserved at Novorossiysk - So that could well be the location of that insert.
Rather interestingly, it also highlights an observation made in Ian Fleming's "Moonraker" novel that the Soviet Navy's ensign was remarkably similar at a distance to the Union Flag!

All four are between a station with North and a station with South in their names. A is the odd one out, as it is taken at a station rather than between stations and also the stations either side end with the compass point rather than starting with it.
